Entitlements Snapshot™

Kosmont's Entitlements Snapshot^TM is affordable and timely pre-development due diligence for property owners, developers, investors and tenants.

Each year, countless seemingly sound real estate development opportunities "turn south" because of uncovered zoning or political constraints that prove too significant. The Entitlements SnapshotTM is an essential low-cost tool for securing this knowledge before large expenditures of time and money are spent on an investment.

The Entitlements Snapshot^TM provides an important check of key factors that may have a bearing on the ultimate success of an acquisition or proposed development, and includes:

• "As of Right" Planning and Zoning Analysis
  

• Political and Community Considerations
  

• CEQA Documentation/Compliance Requirements
  

• Opportunities and Constraints Summary
